"Many thanks, we've enjoyed our time here in this little haven. Sao Miguel is an impressive island full of beautiful mountains, enchanting lakes, volcanic craters and mud cauldrons, with magnificient coast lines and charming villages.
Our cozy cottage, set in delightful gardens, provided us with peace and tranquility. We enjoyed our friendly host and hostess, Ed and Bonita. We certainly hope to return!"

"We are very sad to leave because the week was too short. We had really busy days on the island and it was great to enjoy the evenings on our front porch. The kids loved the beautiful garden, the cats and the delicious bananas."

We have spent nice holidays in Quinta das Acacias. Your "little paradise" is very beautiful (trees, flowers...). Thanks for your kindness and the dscussions we shared about Azores Islands. We will bring back all these great moments in France.

"Urlaub wie im Paradies"
"Wenn die Azoren - zu Recht - als Paradies bezeichnet werden, dann ist die Quinta das Acacias der perfekte Ort, um das Paradies zu erkunden! Die bildhübsche Anlage, eingebettet in einen gepflegten, subtropisch anmutenden Garten, besteht aus drei Doppelhäusern und einem alleinstehenden Haus; alle Unterkünfte sind stilvoll und komfortabel eingerichtet, mit kompletter Küche, Waschmaschine, eigenem Grillplatz inclusive Kräuter-, Obst- und Gemüsebeet, beeindruckenden Blicken ins Hinterland oder auf's Meer und ausreichend Privatsphäre. Die liebenswerten Vermieter Ed und Bonita stehen auf portugiesisch und englisch für Probleme oder Fragen stets zur Verfügung.
Die Quinta im Süden von Sao Miguel liegt zudem strategisch überaus günstig: zur Inselhauptstadt und zum Flughafen sind es nur ca. 15 Minuten, zum Supermarkt und zum Strand ca. drei Kilometer und fast alle Sehenswürdigkeiten/Wanderungen können als entspannte Tagestouren in Angriff genommen werden.
Empfehlung: die Quinta das Acacias ist perfekt geeignet für Individualtouristen, Honeymooner oder gestreßte Großstädter, die endlich wieder die Natur genießen wollen.
Wichtig: die Quinta ist auf Selbstversorgung ausgerichtet und man
benötigt unbedingt einen Leihwagen!
Good to know: die Anlage beherbergt Urlauber aus aller Herren Länder, ist also kein "typisches deutsches Domizil".
Wir würden sie jederzeit und uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen!"

What a great vacation! We've only had a week, but we've enjoyed every minute-from the flower-lined streets to the quaint villages, from the breathtaking peaks to the black sand beaches.
Bonita and Ed's hospitality, along with this central location and the paradise-like landscaping have really made us huge fans at
Quinta das Acacias. We're so glad to have found it. I think we'll be back.

Obrigada Eduino and Bonita por terem partilhado comigo o vosso Sonho de amor e projecto de vida. Tornaram realidade, durante 3 dias tambem o meu Sonho. Voltarei concerteza num futuro proximo.

"ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL"
More beautiful than the pictures we had seen before our stay. Peaceful and serene. The grounds and cottages were immaculate, you could tell that the owners take great pride in their Quinta.
Ed and Bonita were wonderful hosts and very helpful not only with sight seeing suggestions but also simple things like where to buy groceries etc.
The island itself is beautiful with alot of wonderful places to see and explore.
Would definitely recommend the Quinta to everyone we know.

"A little piece of heaven!!!"
The minute we came through the gates, we were in heaven. It is so beautiful and peaceful I can't even put it into words. The pictures do not do justice to what is actually there. We travel all around the world and this is one of the cleanest, best maintained places we have ever been.
Bonita and Eduino are very special people and you can tell that they love what they are doing. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with them and their slice of heaven.

"Hands Down, Best Place to Stay in Sao Miguel!"
My fiance and I have just returned from a week stay at the Quinta and cannot think of a better place to stay. The property is fantastically maintained and the cottages are immaculate. There's a full stove, refrigerator, microwave & every other appliance one could need to have a home-cooked meal or prepare a nice breakfast before a full day of sight seeing.
The property owners go above & beyond to make their guests have a vacation that best suits their needs- such as arranging a taxi, recommending tours, and even restaurants. They even have the property lit until midnight so that guests can enjoy a nice glass of wine while taking a stroll under the stars. I would without a doubt recommend Quinta das Acacias to anyone looking for a quaint place to call home while on holiday- the property itself is a mini-paradise.

Eu, a minha familia e amigos
nao podiamos ter escolhido melhor,
na Quinta das Acacias
reina a paz e o amor
Diversao, alegria e bem-estar
neste Carnaval que passou,
nesta grande quinta
nao nos faltou.
Obrigado, por tudo,
Nuno e Rosa Campos e familia, Fev./2008
Leaving and packing now,
unfortunately don't know,
how to stay
currently no way.
certainly being back
need to keep track
with those kind hosts-being friends
keeping care of their stuff and lands
we were living in a park
seeing flowers even in the dark,
as in the winter, it's Jan now
can't describe, it's just a "WOW"
would like to come back
and hiss the flag
that this place is great: art, nature, friends,
beauty and peace - all in good hands

"A hidden gem that MUST be experienced"
There is nothing quite like being at Ed and Bonita's Quinta. A view of the ocean, a smell of the flowers, a sense of serenity.
If anyone is looking for a place unique to this world, I highly recommend Azores. And what better way to appreciate it than in a comfortable vacationing area like this quinta.

Os Portugueses dizem obrigado
Os Espanhois "muchas gracias"
Eu fiquei maravilhado
Com a Quinta das Acacias
Situada em São Miguel
Esta Ilha dos Amores
Digna do melhor pincel
Do mais ilustre dos pintores
Um local maravilhoso
Não há ninguém que não sinta
Já me sinto desgostoso
Por abalar desta Quinta
Vou-me embora com tristeza
Por desta Quinta abalar
Mas prometo com certeza
A esta Quinta voltar.

Our stay here was amazing, what little time we had here for our honeymoon. We will be back with our family someday soon. The gardens are beautifully and hospitality just as we would expect in St. Albert (our home). Thanks for being Canadian!
Dena and Andrew Chuckrey, St. Albert, Alberta. Canada, Set/07
What a great place to stay! Peaceful, with great views and a fabulous garden full of color and birdsong. The location is perfect for exploring the rest of the island, all in all just a brilliant place for a holiday. Thank you for making our stay such an enjoyable one.
